What is Hermes?
Named after the messenger of the gods, Hermes is the bridge between AI and blockchain data.
The Challenge
AI agents that query blockchain data are powerful but not yet production-ready
AI agents require significant improvements in performance and the ability to answer complex, multi-source questions to be truly useful in real-world, production environments
Speed and cost are blocking AI agents from production
Querying and reasoning over blockchain data is still too slow and too expensive for production use. Developers need faster, more cost-efficient infrastructure to run AI agents at scale without sacrificing accuracy or reliability.
The Solution
Hermes Network
A decentralized Bittensor subnet that creates a seamless bridge between GraphQL AI agents and blockchain data through GraphQL APIs.
GraphQL Agents answer blockchain data questions in plain english
Subnet Validator <> Miners loop improves GraphQL Agents to make them faster
Miners provide a more affordable service to replace traditional Large Language Models (e.g. Claude)
Network Architecture
Visualizing the flow of data through the Hermes ecosystem
Built for the next generation of AI-powered Web3 applications
Access to GraphQL AgentsNatural language query for any Subgraph/SubQuery projects which can be deployed anywhere
Continuous ImprovementsAs miners work, queries sent to the GraphQL agent will become faster and cheaper over time
Decentralized & ScalableBuilt on Bittensor and backed by deep expertise in Web3 data infrastructure
Cloud MiningLower entry barriers. Participate without dedicated hardware via partner-provided infrastructure
Tokenomics & Incentives
Hermes introduces the Subnet 82 Alpha token, used for voting, and rewarding participants. As demand grows, so do rewards for stakers, miners, and validators.
GraphQL Project owners can vote tokens to boost their projects and access premium AI endpoints.

Our Vision
Hermes is building the sentient data layer for the autonomous crypto economy.
As AI agents begin to manage wallets, trade assets, and interact with DeFi, they face a fundamental problem: they can’t easily understand blockchain data. Raw on-chain data is fragmented across hundreds of networks and encoded in formats that are difficult for AI to interpret.
This creates what we call the
Agent Perception Gap
: powerful AI systems designed to operate in crypto, but without the ability to reliably see or understand the on-chain world around them.
Today, answering questions about on-chain activity often relies on large general-purpose AI models, an approach that is slow, expensive, and frequently inaccurate.
Hermes solves this by transforming multi-chain blockchain data into structured, actionable intelligence. We’re giving AI agents the eyes and ears they need to see, understand, and act across crypto.
